As played by Richard Armitage and Viggo Mortensen respectively.

I don't think Thorin would even be that much shorter than me Grin

Feckless, Michael Praed is absolutely to pretty for me to fancy now. But to my pre-pubescent self he was sooooo dark and romantic. And don't start me on Jason bloody Connery. I am still traumatised.

Trills, I don't remotely fancy anyone in the Game of Thrones either.

Autumn My pre-teen self was that way inclined too! Whoever thought that blond twit-bot was a worthy replacement needed a slap ...

I watched Jason Connery play rugby in an Old Boys vs 1st XV at school in the late 80s - everyone piled onto him at every available opportunity as he was "off the telly" and he endred up very bruised and battered. I felt it served him right for taking over from the fabulous MP (my second ever crush after Face from the A team)

Totally serves him right!

Late to this but YABVU. Aragorn will never be replaced in my heart, and I'm not even a big fan of the films...

I haven't forgotten the ending. I cried my eyes out when I read the book as a child. Tbh I think Thorin in the movie is being set up as a tragic hero right from the start (and the ending of the first installment strongly foreshadows the actual ending) so it won't be a huge shock to anyone. Fili and Kili though :(

I am dreading a certain event in the next Game of Thrones season too.

Richard Armitage, Viggo Mortenson, Jason Momoa, Michael Praed, love them all and can I throw into the pot for your delight and delectation, Mark Dacascos from The Crow - Stairway to Heaven.

NO to Michael Praed, just googled him and he is far too girly. But Mark Dacasos is rather lovely and he's reminded me that I fancy pretty much all the Native American men in the world in Last of the Mohicans, plus Daniel Day Lewis as an honorary native american with that long black hair.

another thing I love is Ivanhoe with Ciaran Hinds as du Bois-Guilbert

Definitely. And Sean Bean as Boromir or Eddard Stark. Or anything, actually.

Daniel Day Lewis . . . as a Native American [swoons]

Can I through in Antonio Banderas? . . . And pretty much everyone besides the crone in the 13th Warrior is pretty hot, irrespective of the actual film.

Has to be Viggo... followed by Sean Bean.

My love of scruffy, dirty, long-haired men started years ago with Oliver Tobias as Arthur of the Britons (showing my age now!)

THORIN DREAMBOATSHIELD: I would have arrived earlier but frankly you were juggling plates and singing about the washing up and I’m not in for that. So I stood around outside letting the rain wash down my chiseled profile, staring out into the night and thinking about my dark past, as is my way.
THORIN DREAMBOATSHIELD: NOT A JOLLY DWARF.
THORIN DREAMBOATSHIELD: but very chiseled

IShallWear, I also really-really want a calendar. DH would object though. :(

GANDALF: May I introduce Thorin Dreamboatshield, the rightful king of the dwarves? Also Mr December in the Dreamy Dwarves of Middle Earth calendar, because you want to end the year right. And November, because that?s a month when people really need cheering up. Also October, September, August, July, June, May, April, March, January?
BILBO: But not February?
GANDALF: We figured Fili and Kili together would be hot enough so that people could do without Thorin for one month.
FILI AND KILI: :)
GANDALF: We picked the shortest month.
FILI AND KILI: :(

I have to say Fili and Kili are better looking than Thorin and should have more calender images. Thorin MCSerioushunk is just not jolly enough for me.

Boromir - everytime. Would go for Legolas as well. Also love Richard Armitage although sexy dwarves is just not right! Aragorn - Viggo was good but just doesn't work for me.

I think the pattern of my loves lusts was set by way back when I used to watch Oliver Tobias as Arthur of the Britons when I was about 11 years old. After of course, Michael Praed and assorted Lord of the Rings men. Faramir was my crush in the book - I was sorely disappointed by his casting in the film. Hmm

Yes Faramir in the film was all layered mullet and big nose :(
